I want to know where to find the instructions/an example in Paypal using dropdown menu that the selection is tied to a different price. If this is better discussed elsewhere, please let me know too. I am using Dreamweaver MX.

Page with Paypal Form is setup here:
www.healthstepsrx.com/services/nutritionfitness/nutritioncounseling.htm

Scenario is
1. Drop down is for individual nutritional counseling services
2. if you buy one hour visit it is $X
if you buy follow up it is $y
if you buy one hour visit with body fat analysis it is $z
These (and more choices) are all in the drop down menu. I set it up so the menu name is "amount" and the corresponding drop down menu selection value with how much it costs $$. It goes to paypal fine, but no description of what it is other than just nutritional services.
3. How do I pass a description of the drop down option selected or how do I set it up differently? I need to know WHICH nutritional service the user is buying.

The reason I want to use a menu drop down list is to minimize the space on the screen I use. I believe I can do a radio button setup and solve my problem, but it would take up more screen space. Any suggestions for using with Paypal are appreciated.

I pasted in paypal form coding below too.

Thanks!
